This applies both to the very possibility of engaging in discourse about UFOs—of capturing and documenting these \"unidentified flying objects\"—and to the dissemination of UFO-related narratives in science fiction. Against this backdrop, UFOs are understood as media-aesthetic objects through which questions of what is considered \"real\" are negotiated, as well as how media contribute to the construction of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence.
